-: I heard about
the Masters of Engineering program at Nebraska,
from a feeler email that went out
to Nebraska engineering alumni,
asking about interest in an MEM program.
Offered a Zoom session to help introduce the program,
answer questions, and after being on that call,
was really interested in my professional development
in this capacity.
I specifically chose the Nebraska MEM program
over some of the other types of programs on the market,
primarily because of the way
that it interacts with my current role.
I work for a healthcare informatics company
and don't do all of the technical engineering stuff
that my undergraduate degree was designed for,
but leverage a lot of the problem solving type skill sets
in my role, day to day.
I had looked at other MEM programs.
Many of them are a lot more expensive,
and being able to provide value for the money
that I was investing in my professional development,
was important to me.
Nebraska offers an asynchronous program,
so being able to not have to call into a class
at a specific set hour, and be able to, within a given week,
make that work for me with my job, my career,
were really important to me.
Overall, I would recommend
embracing the Nebraska MEM program.
It is something that, regardless of the amount of time,
effort that you're putting in,
it's something that has already paid back.
I'm four out of 10 classes through
and feel like it's already been a beneficial experience
and has been able to translate into my work, day to day,
even outside of the direct engineering sort of capacities.
So, it is something that I think
would provide value to anyone,
regardless of their background.
